Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) August 27, 2014

The Boise office of Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce released its Marketbeat Snapshot reports for Q2 of 2014. The reports detail the commercial real estate activity for the office and retail markets in the Boise area.

“Boise is beginning to see tremendous interest from larger tenants due to its educated work force, high quality of life, and new, aggressive tax incentives,” said Tim Reid, Managing Director of the Boise office of Cushman & Wakefield Commerce and Office / Investment Specialist. “Looking forward, we expect continued job growth in the Boise market, which will fuel the office market and increased revenues will also drive the retail market, which should continue to see a drop in vacancy rates through the end of the year.”

Boise Office Snapshot
The office market saw a slight increase in the vacancy rate in Q2, increasing by 0.4 percentage points (pps) on a year-over-year basis. Looking forward, absorption is expected to be positive through the end of the year; however, the vacancy rate is not expected to drop due to new construction.

Boise Retail Snapshot
The retail market in Boise continued to impress by adding inventory and decreasing in vacancy. The overall vacancy rate went down by 2.1 pps on a year-over-year basis. Despite a downward trend in the vacancy rate, leases rates actually drifted slightly lower by 1.8%. This is not indicative of a weakening retail market, but rather the result of higher quality space leasing faster than lower quality space.
